The goal of the Policy Research Centre on Civic integration is to provide scientific know-how on immigration dynamics, procedures, coping strategies, the profile of different target groups, opportunities, obstacles, attitudes of different groups involved, in order to assist policy makers and stakeholders to meet efficient and effective criteria while developing plans and policies. Therefore, in this multi-annual programme four work packages are designed to meet the objectives of the Flemish Ministry of Civic Integration. HIVA will be responsible for the research lines on monitoring and policy evaluation and will take up most of the ad hoc the tasks.
